Georges newspap4r. will contain the re.
ply OF Rev. DIR. McGlynn. the depossl
priest of st. Stephens church, to .hs
public statement upon the famous con
troversery made by Archbishop Curi
gan few days ago. Dr. AcGIyunis re
ply fills six columns of the Standard
He begins as follows: "The letter oi
August 1882 from Cardinal Simenai IL
which Archbishop Corrigan refers, an
not able to find. hut il - true, As hs
states, that this letter complained OF my
land league speeches as 'ccEtaining
propositions openly contrary 10 the
tea 4hings of the Catholic Church The
Doctrines thus stigmatizsd were those ]
have held and taught before and since,
namely, that all usen are equally enti-
tied 10 the use of the geusraI bouHties o:
natrre, including land as well as sun
light, air and water and that human laws
ought to be 50 changed As TO conform to
this dictate Of national justice / sffirm
that while acknowledging the right oi
exclusive ownership in all hat il FRO
duced by human industry, / would at
the same time compel tn IS who enjoy
exclusively large or choice portion 0:
the bounties CT nature to pay to The
community an equivalent in taxation to
the full amount CT the rental value.
1t is absolutely false, although; ated
by Archbishop COrrigsn cn the sutliori-
ty of Cardinal McClosky, tIia. '.rscog-
nizsd my errors and prOfessed tc
be sorry for them" On the con-
trsry. in my interview with Car
dinal McCloskey. 1 reaffirmed sthe doe
trine and explained it and defen1sd
it fro i mi understandings and misap-
prehensions. / told him substantially
that knew my theology well enough
not to sin against it iguorantly, and tha:
1 loved my religion too well to sin
against it wilfully. l voluntarily prom
ised to abstain from making L2nai
League speeches; not because 1 ae-
knowledged the right of any one to for
bid me, but because l knew well the
power OF my ecclesiastical sureriors to
impair and almost destroy my useful
ness in tie ministry of Christis church,
to which had conseera.ed my life"
DIR. McGlynn then gives at length twO
letters fran the Propaganda, ore under
date OF September l2. 1852, directing
the Suspension and disciplining of Dr..
McGIynn for Land League speeches; the
other under date of Msy 10. 1883. call
ing attention to the fact thas though
McGlynn had modified his tone he vas
still speaking in favor of ''Irish revola-
tion," and one from Viear-General
Quinn to McGIynn dated May q, coa
veying q request that he should not
attend q certain Land League meeting
This meeting, McGlynn states, was "a
be addressed by Alexander Sullivan. the
newly eiected President MeGsynn as
serts that he had not expressed any m
tsrtion of attending it and that otheE
priests were similarly warned.
In reply to the complaint from R5me
of Nav, 1883, MeGiynn wrote to Card5-
nal Mc;sloskey: Il regret very much
that the Cardinal Project has found nes
cause for displessure. Tee report in
some Boston journal of a meeting must
have been that held in this city In Feb
ruary last, which was not a lsnd league

ised you Lot to attend, bus was for the
relief of people suffering from famine In

cause of it. and urged the duty of re.
dressing such injustice.
In this thought was but favorine
